The much-anticipated Huawei Mate 20 Pro has been revealed in all its glory. The phone has several new tricks up its sleeve including a brand new 7 nm chipset, triple cameras and an in-display fingerprint scanner. It will go on sale by the end of October in most markets.

The Mate 20 Pro stands out from the rest in the way it looks – it has a Samsung-like curved edge 6.39-inch OLED display, but then, there’s also a notch up top, which houses its 24MP f/2.0 front camera, earpiece and the 3D face scanner.

The glass back of the Mate 20 Pro proudly houses its triple camera setup in a unique square layout. These cameras are different from that of the P20 Pro. So, there’s a 40MP f/1.8 primary camera, a 20MP f/2.2 sensor with ultra-wide lens and an 8MP f/2.2 telephoto camera. The on-board AI can detect scenes, this time even during video recording.

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is powered by the Kirin 980 SoC, which is the first 7 nm chip for Android phones. It also has ARM’s new Cortex-A76 cores. Also on board is a dedicated dual NPU to handle AI tasks. As per Huawei, the Kirin 980 is 75 per cent faster and 58 per cent more efficient than its predecessor.

The Mate 20 Pro has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable internal storage. It also has a big 4,200mAh battery with new SuperCharge tech which feeds 40W of power to the phone and can replenish the battery from 0-70 per cent in just 30 minutes. Wireless Quick Charge is also standard.
